If you like a guy, you shouldn't sit around waiting for him to ask you out. You should gather your courage and make a move yourself. Even though there's always a chance that he'll turn you down, it's better for you to find out how he feels than to waste your time wondering where he stands. In case you make your move and get turned down, here are a few funny responses you can use after you're rejected:

1. Let Him Know What He's Missing
If a guy turns you down when you ask him out on a date, say, "At least let me take you to an eye doctor so you can see what you're missing." It's the sweetest way that you could possibly tell him that he's made a huge mistake. Besides, he must need a new pair of glasses, because if he had working eyes, then he'd already know that you were a catch.

Remember, rejection isn't the end of the world – it's just a redirection, likely towards someone even better. When he says no, just flash your most charming smile and playfully respond, “Oh well, it's your loss. Now I'll just have to find someone who can fully appreciate my 'limited edition' vibe.” With a twinkle in your eye and a cheeky grin, you'll show that your confidence isn't shaken and you've got plenty of self-love to go around. After all, every queen needs a king who isn't afraid of a little sparkle!
Honestly, you can keep it light and funny! Try saying something like, 'Well, your loss! More ice cream for me!' It shows you're not taking it too seriously.
A little humor can take the sting out of rejection. You might say, 'Wow, I didn’t expect to get ghosted in daylight!' It’s light-hearted and shows you can handle it.
You could say something playful like, 'Guess I’ll take my awesomeness elsewhere!' It’s a fun way to show you're still confident and unbothered.
Absolutely! Try saying, 'Oh well, guess that’s one less gift I have to buy!' It keeps things light and shows you’re not taking it to heart.
You can always go with a cheeky line like, 'Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll realize your mistake soon!' It’s playful and lets him know you’re still confident and having fun.
2. Let Him Know You're Not Giving up
If a guy turns you down, because he already has a girlfriend, then you can say, “Well, I have a dog. We can get a sitter for them while the adults go have some fun.” Of course, if he actually takes you up on the offer, then you should run far away, because you don't want to associate with a cheater.

3. Let Him Know You're Hilarious
Here's another comeback to use when a guy tells you that he's already taken. You can say, “Great! I've always wanted a threesome!” If that doesn't throw him off guard, nothing will. Of course, it could also spark a fight with his girlfriend, because he's probably going to bring the idea up to her later that night.

4. Let Him Know You're Self Deprecating
If he thinks that he's too good for you, then say, “Do you have a twin with lower standards?" It'll let him know that you don't actually have your heart set on dating him. He's entirely replaceable, and you should let him know it.

5. Let Him Know You're a Star
If he apologizes for turning you down, you should apologize right back. Say, “I'm sorry that your future self is going to spend hours crying over me once I hit it big.” Your career is more important than your love life, anyway. You need to focus on getting that success you know you deserve.

6. Let Him Know You're Expectant
If you're grasping for straws, you can say, “You can't turn me down after I walked all the way over here." Hey, if men expect to get sex just for paying for dinner, then why can't women expect to get a date just for walking across a room?

7. Let Him Know You Can Take It
The best way to deal with rejection is by letting him know his opinion doesn't bother you. Just say, “It’s a good thing I’m not sensitive.” Then you can walk away and live your life without him. It's not like you need him in order to be happy.
Getting turned down isn't the end of the world. You need to take rejection with a grain of salt and then move on to the next man. What's the best response you can come up with for dealing with rejection?

Alicia: If a man turns me down I will respect his choice just as I would like my choice to be respected when I turn a man down
Life: I have
Bella: Love it
Abby: I'm cringing just reading this post. Awful.
peony: So would you be thinking it out loud.? Because I would have thought moving on to the next guy is so much better. And I don't believe any girl should behave that way only if this is for a laugh but truthfully no one likes rejection so I would their loss Andover on to someone who will appreciate you.
Emily: These are awful. You shouldn't be having to convince a man to be with you, they should KNOW how awesome you are. The others are losers that you don't need anyway.
Michelle: These are hilarious!
Courtneyg1107: These aren't even cute. Who would want to say these things after they get rejected. Just say "ok" and walk away --problem solved.
Jags: I would say entertaining the rejection sounds desperate in itself! Very cringe worthy
Sam: These are possibly the worst comebacks I've ever heard
